The Board of Directors at THR4Life decided to reach out to Aaron Biebert to chat with him about the 2nd anniversary of the North American premiere of his film, “A Billion Lives” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – on what is THR4Life‘s podcast debut.

Aaron and I talk about the inception, grass-roots research, and his perceptions while preparing for the film. He allows us an intimate perspective of both the challenges he faced while making the film, where the inspiration came from, and what it took to put this award-winning documentary together.

Aaron also gives us a look at other projects he and the crew of Attention Era Media have been working on since 2016. Always on the go, he talks about projects with Derek Yach of The Foundation for a Smoke-Free World and the Film Festival during the most recent Global Forum on Nicotine and more.

Neal Asher ~ On Vaping:

…and also instinctively want to seize control of and legislate for anything new. But it is some in the medical profession for whom I have the greatest contempt. They’ve had careers telling people to ‘quit or die’ and now cannot quite comprehend this level of harm reduction.

Guest Post

It is time for those in power to change the laws, to see they’ve been lied to (and still are) by ANTZ (Anti-Nicotine & Tobacco Zealots) long enough. It is time to stop rewarding the lies and accept that smokers are switching in droves for a reason.

New Nicotine Alliance

NNA has come a very long way in two short years and we have thoroughly earned our reputation as a “go to” organisation on tobacco harm reduction. Now we need your help to achieve even more. We have never asked for money before but we need to now.

Revolution

Via Guy Bentley:

The United States is a world leader in innovation. But when it comes to ensuring smokers have the maximum possible access to new devices and products that will help them quit and save their lives the U.S. is found tragically wanting.

My quotes

“Without question, no one markets cigarettes or e-cigarettes more to children than Tobacco Free Kids. No one.”

“The leading cause of funding for tobacco control is taxes derived from smoking.”

“There’s a big difference in a 93% government approved failure rate and pretending people need a “plan” and “help” to quit smoking.”

“#Nicotine “addiction” causes smoking rates to decline to the lowest rates… in history. Take your time.”

“What are the health implications of deceiving smokers by regulating e-cigarettes as “tobacco” products”?

“We’re not idiots. We’re already looking for all we can know about e-cigarettes. Do you know why? We’re tired of everyone being lied to. Because we’re the stakeholder in the equation. You’re not.”

“I’m for whatever works for the informed consumer. Patch, gum, Heat Not Burn, vaping, acupuncture, books, hypnosis, counseling, etc. Do I “like” them all? No. It’s not about or me or are what “I” like. What may work as choice for a consumer is first.”

“Morals are standards set by those who want their standards met by others.”

“To debate a comparison of e-cigarettes to combustible tobacco is gross negligence or voluntary incompetence.”

“….the anti-tobacco lobby is threatened by progress. They’re not used to it.”

“The assertion of nicotine “addiction” by “public health” is profitable and absurd.”

“Oftentimes an expert will make a claim and just assume we will nod our head in agreement because that’s what YOU think we’re supposed to do because you have a title. ——Put that way before you hurt yourself. Let us take a moment to get past that, shall we?”

“When tobacco use decreases, less smoking occurs.”

“The only reason government doesn’t sell #cigarettes directly is to keep you thinking they – don’t.”

“Ecigs are a replacement for tobacco products. They are not a replacement for lost tobacco taxes.”

“Treating the symptom, not the cause – is never an effective outcome.”

“The largest threat to Public Health is an informed consumer.”

“Despite the vast claims “experts” manufacture, we, as individuals, are the experts.”

“Convincing smokers that nicotine is addictive is a multi-billion dollar global lie.”

“I’ll tell you what your government and health organizations won’t about e-cigarettes.”

“Government & those in care & custody of “public health” are lying, to their advantage – of the effectiveness of smoking cessation products.”

Vaping In The News covers media stories on smoking, vaping, snus, heat not burn, e-cigarettes, exposing tobacco control, public health, government, regulations, policies and more worldwide. The post Vaping In The News – January 19th, 2019 appeared first on Vaping Links And More.

Let’s change the conversation about the myths surrounding nicotine and vaping. The government resists ignores the opportunity to correct myths surrounding nicotine, vaping, and snus. Most things shared in mainstream media is full of multi-layered bias. There are difficulties explaining admitting vaping products and nicotine (and snus) are a safer, less harmful alternative to smoking, […]

I invested a bit of thought for the title of this particular blog. It is my intent is to both entertain and educate. With clowns to the left of me, research to the right, on average, I trust I can reach my goal. Normally I spend about two or three hours on any blog. While […]
